Ring-shaped coral reef (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atoll

(Other definitions for atoll that I've seen before include "Pacific coral island" , "land threatened by rising sea levels" , "Key" , "Ring of coral" , "Coral island with central lagoon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
